that thing looks cheaper can we make our own anyone know how to wire it

Should be able to build one much cheaper, a bridge rec (about £2) to first rectify the AC. Just Google the 7812 for smoothing cap values.
It may even be worth looking at 7805 regs to feed out straight to a usb connector.

Is there a potential problem in that at low revs it won't be generating 12v. A gps for instances, takes a bit of time to find and connect to the satellites, so at low revs it would switch off then re-start when it reaches 12v ....then switch off again at low revs.

I buggered my samsung galaxy using a gps app' on the Li and that was through a battery....some electrical appliances are a bit sensitive so be careful !!

Couldn't post a circuit diagram could you mate? It would be really interesting! You made it sound so simple

See these at Scarbro' this weekend... I'd priced new new stator, cdi and reg for dc conversion... Think this is worth a try first at that price.... If it does as it says.. Charges phone/ runs satnav.. I'll be happy!!...

y not just use the bgm one straight swap for u org one , only bout 20 pounds

I'd priced up all the bgm parts.. Running Af's electic kit at min... Got price for bgm cdi , £20+ , but was under impression I'd need. Battery too???.....

no u can use the bgm without a battery it should hav enough power to run a phone,sat nav

I didn't know that!.. Cheers for the info..
